Skills that I am eager to bring into professional remote roles in project coordination and operations.
What is a "Zine"?
A zine (short for “magazine” or “fanzine”) is a small-circulation, often independent publication created by individuals or communities to share specialized content, art, and ideas. Zines serve as a platform for creative expression, storytelling, and niche interests outside mainstream media. A zine moderator oversees the coordination and communication among contributors and project stakeholders to ensure smooth collaboration and timely progress. This role involves managing submissions, resolving conflicts, maintaining community standards, and facilitating logistics for content production and distribution.Acting as a key liaison, a zine moderator balances creative vision with operational efficiency, ensuring that projects meet deadlines and quality standards in a fast-paced, volunteer-driven environment.
Typically, projects take 1 to 2 years to complete; however, during the COVID-19 pandemic, shipping timelines extended up to 3 years due to fluctuating international health guidelines and shipping restrictions. Managing these projects required staying constantly informed of global health news to adjust logistics accordingly.In my work, I managed both profit and nonprofit zines, overseeing all aspects of production and distribution, including contributor coordination, vendor relations, shipping logistics, budgeting, and compliance. This experience required strong project management skills and adaptability to meet diverse operational needs.
